How can I troubleshoot a failing transmission in my Audi 80?

I noticed my Audi 80 is having trouble shifting gears and the transmission seems to be failing. What steps can I take to diagnose and fix the issue?

First, check the transmission fluid level and condition. Low or dirty fluid can cause transmission issues. If that checks out, it may be a faulty solenoid or sensor. Get a diagnostic test at a trusted mechanic to pinpoint the exact problem.

A common issue with Audi 80 transmissions is a worn clutch. This can be caused by aggressive driving or simply normal wear and tear. If you notice the clutch slipping or grinding, it may be time for a replacement. Consider upgrading to a high performance clutch for better durability.
